Dermatology in the cinema.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1995 Dec; 33(6): 1030-5

Summary:

The depiction of skin disease in the cinema can be divided into three categories. These include skin findings on actors independent of the roles they portray, cutaneous disease used as a representation of evil, and skin disease represented realistically and sympathetically. Examples from a wide range of films are given, and implications for dermatologists and their patients are discussed.
